Description
I've always been fascinated by the ME-262. Very cool, sleek, and surprising aerodynamic shape...to say nothing of the shock that it engendered when introduced into combat. I could imagine the psychological and physical devastation they wreaked as they plowed through a formation of Allied bombers. I have a hard time imagining what it must be like fighting, flying, and keeping a grip on your spacial surrounding and your foe and friends alike. I'm sure that seat of the pants and intuition ruled the situation as much as flying expertise.
Me-262: Bazze's oldie and still mighty goodie
B-17: De Espona, I think.
P-51D: That nifty free offering from Neiwil
The usual suspects: Poser, Vue 6 inf, and some minor adjustments in Photoshop CS3

Great work. Love the energy in this render. You have to love Bazze. Even his older models are giant strides beyond other people's work. 5+++

Very dynamic Bill, scary times indeed.....seat of the pants and a change of pants at times I'm sure.Strange to think the 262 was originally supposed to use the 109 fusilage, wouldn't have been the same 'flying shark' then....must admit the P-51 doesn't look bad amongst such exhaulted company....though ultimately, I'm just happy to see you blowing holes in someone elses models :-) I'm hopeing to find time to do a little on that story we spoke of, the model is started but early days yet...will keep you posted..

Crowded is the operative word here! Nicely done!

Thanks guys. Yeah, Neil...that P-51D is a pretty sexy babe, even in company with the "Shark"...and better not speak too soon about what I shoot up...you never know...you know? I'm glad that the German engineers thought better of using the 109 hull, I shrivel at the thought of the alternative. Bazze...he's still the original king. He's been an incredible inspiration to us all. But, that being said...there a quite a few good modelers out there who keep getting better and better all the time...Neil of course being one. Go, Neil! Just like the skies in combat, it's a crowded arena, but we all strive to do our best.

Nice one!
Penters
Real nice panorama..a real mix indeed. As you say Bazze is the king, have you seen his new Mig 15 renders...beautiful.

Great battle scene!
Briney
Great combat scene. Someone is having a bad day!!! The combination of big lumbering bombers and jet fighters must have been hair-raising. Now you see it... now you don't.

Looks pretty fine. ;-)
